    Annika Schmidt scored in the 80th minute off an assist from Natalie Newman to lead the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns to a 1-0 Sun Belt Conference win over ULM on Sunday at the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer/Track Facility.
     
    Newman’s shot from the top of the box hit the crossbar and bounced in front of the goal where Schmidt knocked in the game-winner. It was Schmidt’s fourth goal of the season.
     
    "I’m just really proud of the way we responded in the second half," head coach Scot Wieland said. "I’m really proud of the seniors. Senior Annika Schmidt got the game-winner and I’m happy for them and proud of them."
     
    Louisiana (8-7-1, 4-3-1 SBC) held a 16-13 advantage in shots with Newman leading the Cajuns with five shots, two of which were on goal.
     
    ULM (6-8-2, 3-4-1 SBC) was led by Cke’Lana Caesar with four shots, one of which was on goal.
     
    ULM goalkeeper Brooke Scroggins had seven saves while Louisiana goalkeeper Cosette Morché had six saves.
     
    "I thought our girls played really hard," Wieland said. "We had a lot of opportunities and hats off to ULM. They have been playing teams really hard this year and they have been successful. They defend very well. This was no easy task."
     
    Louisiana will face Appalachian State on Friday, Oct. 21 in a 6 p.m. match in Boone, N.C.
